Re: How do I clean very hazy instrument lens plastic?
Okay so I was feeling a little crazy and went and bought some 2000 grit sandpaper and some #17 Maguiars polish. It really scratched all the clean plastic areas and made very little positive headway with the hazed areas. I think I am going to buy a new lens from Brothers website. I think I found one there for $19--new. Thanks everybody. It was worth a try!

Re: How do I clean very hazy instrument lens plastic?
Flitz it works killer on badly yellowed headlights I would say it would clean this up pretty well....you will have to wet sand up to 2000/3000 but afterwords there like new
I could be a saleman for Flitz but it does work on alot of things like aluminum/brass/chrome and lens....I bought it after I put my foot in my mouth at a motorcycle show the guy was selling the worlds greatest product so I stuck my finger in the can and went to the next both/trailer rubbed some on an aluminun corner went back grabbed a papertowel and wiped it...you know I put little effort in it...dam thing was shining walked back and bought the package

Re: How do I clean very hazy instrument lens plastic?
I was wrong. Brothers has them for $49.99 new. Ouch. I think I'll try the Flitz system then I could use that to clean and polish my mags.
Thanks a lot Hottrucks. |

Re: How do I clean very hazy instrument lens plastic?
tell yea what if it doesn't work I'll buy whats left from you....I will say use very little it seems like the less you use the better it works...also check there website for helpful hints...like the one about using flour to absorb the extra clean off hard to clean things like diamond plate aluminum......also I have tried to use the mothers polishing ball but it seems like there cloth ball works alot better on whels and such but in your lens a tissue will work best....I have done a couple of my own headlights and a few of my buddies it doesn't take long
